Riding South to LCA 2009 – Part 1

Well finally got some time and access to a real internet connection so I’ve been able to sort out my photos and post some of them. Also means I can post some of my thoughts and rants about the trip so far.

Day 1: Perth to Norseman

Day 1 was a good 700km to start us off, where a bit late getting away but thats life. Unfortunately I was still suffering from a stomach bug so by about 12:30 I was pretty much completely out of it and delirious. So we loaded my bike onto the trailer and I spent a good chunk of the afternoon out of it in the car.

Day 2: Norseman to Border Village

Another 750km today, I felt much better and ended up riding all day which was great. The best part of the days ride was 90 mile straight, Australia’s longest straight section of road. Mum and I took off and did the entire straight in a little under an hour. Great fun.

As part of the day’s travels we also went down through the Madura Pass. The view from the lookout was amazing. Put together a nice little panorama from the lookout.

Day 3: Border Village to Wudina

Day 3 was yet another 700km day, it was unfortunately my turn to drive the car so no riding for me today. The view however along the bite was spectacular. Stopped at a couple of the lookout point to take photos including probably my favourite of the trip so far.

Have to say the place we stayed in Wudina was excellent. Nice spacious rooms, excellent food and best of all plenty of power points in the all the rooms.
